Waxdred is an interesting card and I can't seem to make a decision about how good I think it will be. Other cards with similar effects as this all failed either because you had to pay a high price or meet spesific conditions to ressurect them, but with Waxdred you pay the mana cost once and he (she?) is your forever. It is not hard to copy the deathrattle, and with some of the new cards (Galakrond and candle breath) it doesn't look like it will be hard to draw him again later. I just am not sure it will be worth spending that many resources just summoning raw stats. But then again, how much are you really spending to summon him? It is this question that makes me constantly second guess whether or not he will be good.
The card is definitely powerful enough for play, and the tag helps Candle Breath's inclusion.
The question rather is whether we'll see a Rogue archetype that can survive long enough for the value returns to make a difference.
Hanging by the ropes and proccing Waxadred doesn't quite do it, and N'Zoth will have rotated.
Miracle Rogue with Nomi + Myra's has been low-key powerful for awhile now and with both Galakrond + Candle Breath draw to be added to the mix I think the consistency will hit critical mass.
Galakrogue might enable a "broken" draw strategy ala mill rogue but instead of burning cards, it's emptying your deck and having endless 0 cost minions. Imagine 3+ Heistbaron Togwaggle that cost 0, then you draw potentially 9 more 0 cost cards, and maybe you can add in Waxadred somehow or a Nomi/Mechathun finish.
We’re excited to unveil Half-Life: Alyx, our flagship VR game, this Thursday at 10am Pacific Time. Can’t wait to share it with all of you!
My mind = blown. After leaks this morning that Half-Life: Alyx was going to be a thing, and ones that looked very reliable, I thought we'd be in the dark until the actual announcement but it looks like Valve went and took charge on it to confirm.
It has been a long time since Half-Life 2 Episode 2, and although this is not likely to be a continuation of the story due to the "Flagship VR" nature of the game, getting to go back into that universe with 2019 tech is going to ROCK.
I don't even know what I want out of it. That oculus sure is going to come in handy though!
Same here. Re-rolling a 60 typically results in another 60g quest. As someone else who also runs alt accounts to generate additional 80g quests for my main account, this makes clearing dailies much easier, so I'm generally happy with the change.
However, while I've had a couple of 80g quests offered, I have yet to re-roll into a 80g quest. Just curious - has anyone here re-rolled a quest and got an 80g?
How are you rerolling 60g quests into more 60g quests? Blizzard specifically said in the 15.6 patch they were changing that:
https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/blog/23190446/
Daily quests have also been split into two buckets: Easy (50g) and Slightly More Difficult (60g). Rerolling a Slightly More Difficult (60g) quest (like Play 10 Beasts) will always give you an Easy (50g) quest, so you can get Easy quest every day if you’d like.
Yes, indeed, it appears to be a bug, but I personally prefer the option to roll into a 'better' quest, so I'll be sad to see this particular bug go.
I'm also still curious if it will remain possible to re-roll into an 80g - haven't done it myself yet

I think you could build a Waxadred deck with the same end-goal as a Chef Nomi deck. If you can Necrium Blade/Vial 2-3 times and reach the end of your deck then you essentially have a permanent board of 7/5s threatening your opponent. Plague of Death is the only board clear that deals with it effectively.
I stay skeptical about Galakrond itself, as i think it requires too many support cards, with a generally bad Tempo ratio, and not enough room for other synergies (except Lackeys ofc).
On the other hand, a good Wax Explorer could be enough to unlock the Breath, and make for a small Dragon/Draw package for draw purposes in any deck.
I hope Dragons can be merged into Thief Rogue. It would be great, flavor-wise.
I think Rogue Galakrond might finally be what makes me craft Heistbaron Togwaggle. I've been having so much fun with Burgle Rogue that I've never made an effort with the (obviously strong) lackey-focused Tempo Rogue. But with Invoke/GK's hero power you're going to have a DISGUSTING amount of lackeys - it would be almost impossible not to get obscene value out of Togwaggle.
ETA: Thanks a ton for that flavor text on Seal Fate - now I've got that song stuck in my head and it won't come out...
So many lost connections!
Really struggling at the moment, HS seems to lose connection a lot. I have to restart battle.net and hs to reconnect.
By then, I've usually had two rounds of face smashing and I can't recover :(

The future's bright for Rogue's combo archetypes.

Half-Life Confirmed
Just not 3.
Valve Software on Twitter made their first tweet.

Seems fun and competitive! I'll give it a try to see if I can get from 10 to 5.

Custom Expansion - The Trials Within Us
Made some changes based on the Discord feedback, namely adding some spells into the Shaman and Warlock.
Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Initial Reveal #3
I know!
But nefarian should cost something like (2) less to be vaguely viable...
Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Initial Reveal #3
Ah, i missed it!
Well, if not explorers, hopefully other solid Dragons to make Wax Breath viable.
Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Initial Reveal #3
Hunter's are represented by Brann, and are a good class. Only the good classes will be getting an Explorer, as far as I remember.
The EVIL classes are Rogue, Priest, Warrior, Warlock and Shaman.
New Neutral Minion - Evasive Drakonid
Would be nice to Emeriss this one in Dragon Hunter.

It is my understanding that every class is getting an explorer.
Hunter got one and Hunter isn't a good class.
*edit* nevermind I forgot Hunter is a good class. I was wrong.

And Polish!

rogue won't be getting a explorer because it isn't one of the good classes

Dragons + Thief Rogue = Nefarian!

I like you call it "that particular movie" haha. Joel Schumacher is history's greatest villain and his "works" are those of the devil!
Also for a pallet-cleanser, here's Seal getting attacked by wolves:

I must admit, I did not realise it was a song in that particular movie. Somehow that makes it all the better, though.

I wish they would have called this "Elusive Drakonid", the cries for having this as a keyword would have been deafening.
